Guacamole Stuffed Chicken

A few purists might contend that avocados and heat don’t mix, but they’ve clearly never tried this recipe. Chicken breasts rolled up with a layer of fresh guacamole get a flavor boost and a creamy center that plays very nicely with the lean meat. And just to wrap it all up with a bow, a lightly-spiced layer of almond flour adds a crispy crust on the outside, without any breadcrumbs or anything else gluten-or-cornmeal-related.

Adding avocado also gives you a great nutritional level up: avocados are rich in healthy fats, B vitamins, Vitamin E, magnesium, fiber, and other nutrients.

This recipe doesn’t have a really explicit Southwest-style theme, but it would be good with any kind of Mexican or Tex-Mex-inspired side dish. Or try something super simple: slice up some ripe heirloom tomatoes, drizzle with olive oil, salt, and pepper, and devour them on the side.
